Guys are simple... women are not simple and they always assume that men must be just as complicated as they are only way more mysterious. The whole point is guys are not thinking much. They are just what they appear to be. Tragically.

In response to our fast-food culture a 'slow food' movement appeared. Out of hurried parenthood a move toward slow parenting could be growing. With vital government supports for state-of-the-art public child care and paid parental leave maybe we would be ready to try slow love and marriage.

Gay marriage has jumped out of the closet on to the front page. Everyone from the president of the U.S. to retired four-star general Colin Powell is embracing the issue now supported by most Americans. Still a few people like former First Lady Laura Bush appear to be conflicted.

I can look back at different times in my life when I felt I could not find my way out of whatever it was. I'm not necessarily talking about marriage but I wanted to pack it in. I wanted to disappear. A lot of that has to do with being in the public eye.

Love is a trap. When it appears we see only its light not its shadows.

Constant development is the law of life and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.

Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs.

When we remember we are all mad the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.

I was myself brought up with my brother whose name was Matthias for he was my own brother by both father and mother and I made mighty proficiency in the improvements of my learning and appeared to have both a great memory and understanding.
